Letra del Tango Noche de locura

¡Deja el vaso de licor, no pienses tanto…!
¡Ven y miénteme esta noche tu pasión!
El olvido esta tentándome en tus labios
y enloquezco de recuerdos y de alcohol.
¡No, no bebas! ¡Ven y bésame! ¿Que esperas…?
Emborráchate de amor igual que yo.
Que te puede ya importar, si nada entregas.
Si también tú, tienes muerto el corazón.

Deja la copa,
dame tu boca
y atúrdeme de amor en vez de alcohol.
¿Por qué es que no me besas…?
No tengo a dónde ir y allá en la pieza
me esperan los demonios del rencor.
No, no estoy loco,
muerde mi boca
y déjame creer que esto es amor.

El olvido esta tentándome en un guiño
desde el fondo de tus ojos de carbón,
y en la cita sin razón del desatino,
hace fácil su locura, la pasión.
Ven y ayúdame a olvidar entre tus brazos
con la trágica mentira de este amor
que en el nuevo amanecer se ira borrando
con la noche de locura en que nació.

English lyrics of the Tango "Noche de locura"

Put down that glass of liquor, don’t think so much…!
Come and lie to me tonight about your passion!
Oblivion is tempting me on your lips
and I’m going mad with memories and alcohol.
No, don’t drink! Come and kiss me! What are you waiting for…?
Get drunk on love just like me.
What could it matter to you, if you give nothing.
If you too, have a dead heart.

Put down the glass,
give me your lips
and stun me with love instead of alcohol.
Why won’t you kiss me…?
I have nowhere to go and back in the room
the demons of bitterness wait for me.
No, I’m not crazy,
bite my lips
and let me believe that this is love.

Oblivion is tempting me with a wink
from the depths of your coal-black eyes,
and in the senseless appointment of folly,
passion makes its madness easy.
Come and help me forget in your arms
with the tragic lie of this love
that will fade with the new dawn
in the night of madness in which it was born.

Story behind the Tango Noche de locura

“Noche de locura” (Night of Madness) tells a tale of deep emotional turmoil and the desire to escape sorrow through a night of passion and forgetfulness. The lyrics describe a conversation between two individuals, possibly former lovers, who find themselves drowning their sorrows in drink and memories. The narrator implores the other to forsake alcohol in favor of a brief, possibly deceitful, romantic encounter as a means to stave off their mutual desolation.


Symbolism of Noche de locura

The song employs vivid imagery and symbolic language to deepen the narrative of fleeting escape and heartache. Phrases like “Deja el vaso de licor, no pienses tanto…!” (Leave the glass of liquor, don’t think so much…!) and “El olvido esta tentándome en tus labios” (Forgetfulness is tempting me on your lips) illustrate the tug-of-war between trying to forget past pains and the temptation to rekindle old flames albeit briefly and self-deceptively. The repeated entreaties to “Ven y bésame” (Come and kiss me) bridge desperation with physical desire, highlighting a momentary reprieve from their aching solitude.


Noche de locura in historic Context

“Noche de locura” emerged in Argentina’s post-World War II era, a time marked by social and economic shifts. In 1954, when this tango was recorded, Argentina was experiencing a period of political tension and upheaval, influencing its cultural output. Tango often served as a reflection of the societal mood—themes of melancholy, nostalgia, and personal struggle pervade the music of the era. This song, with its scenes of drinking to forget and the palliative use of love, could be seen as reflective of the broader disquiet of its time.
